Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Rewinding back to the beginning of the day and Chao Duan was involved in a big pot that he lost against Jean Said. There were three deuces on the board and he called a big raise on the river, to be shown quads.

He was in a similar situation just now. Tobias Duthweiler had opened the cutoff and Duan called the button before the small blind made it three-handed to the flop. On a flop, the small blind checked and Duthweiler made it 8,300 to go. Only Duan called, taking them heads up to the turn.

It was the and Duthweiler bet 28,500, leaving 50,000 and change behind. Duan tried to engage him in table talk, even asking if Duthweiler had a six. Perhaps the memory of the hand earlier had something to do with his decision or perhaps not, either way he decided to lay it down.
